“For me Voodling is tied to our ‘now’, to the moment between one second and the next. It constitutes a potential that is actualised and transformed into reality; an opening where concepts such as subject and object, inside and outside, proximity and distance are thrown up in the air only to be defined anew. Our sense of orientation is challenged, and the coordinates of our spaces, collective and personal, have to be renegotiated. Mutability and motion lie at the core of Voodling.”

" E.J Marey was not out to replicate the illusion of motion. On the contrary, he sought to demystify its illusion so that he might better contemplate its subtleties in stasis, at leisure. In this sense, chronophotography is at odds with film -- a kind of dissection without any attempt at simulation."

Still keeping it simple but moving, Sam Renseiw documented a bout of old fashioned draftsmanship in an alley. View the footage spacing out by clicking here or enter the set-up above.
